Dear BrickLink Members,
We’re proud to share that the BrickLink Designer Program will live on! We’ve learned from the BDP 2021 Invitational, and the program is here to stay. Series 1 is the first in the new, permanent program. We’ll continue learning and adjusting to make each future Series better.
How Series 1 will work
Series 1 will span 2023 and early 2024, with these milestones:
Create Your Designs: December 9, 2022—February 2023
We invite all LEGO enthusiasts 18 and older to design your models in Studio.
Open Submission: February 1—28, 2023
Submit your models during a 4-week window to be considered before the deadline on February 28, 2023 at noon Pacific US time.
Crowd Validation: March 7—March 31
We invite all BrickLink members to vote for their favorite submissions. This crowd vote weighs in alongside the BDP’s internal selection criteria and influences the designs chosen for crowdfunding.
Review: April—May 2023
Our team checks every design for building experience, brand fit, and crowd favorites.
5 Designs Announced: Late May 2023
We’ll reveal the five Series 1 designs. Then we’ll collaborate with fan designers to prepare them for production.
Crowdfunding: February 2024
BrickLink members will be invited to pre-order their favorite designs, with a limit of 2 of each set per household. All designs that receive over 3,000 pre-orders will be produced. We will manufacture up to 20,000 of each set on a limited production run.
Production and Shipping: Summer/Fall 2024
We produce the sets in the factory. Orders will be ready to ship approximately 6 months after crowdfunding. Actual dates and shipping times may vary.
What calling it “Series 1” says about the Program’s future
We’re committed to helping you realize your ideas through the BrickLink Designer Program. By calling this iteration Series 1, we’re indicating the BrickLink Designer Program has matured from the one-off 2021 Invitational into a program we can sustain over time. With this and each future Series, we’ll issue a fresh brief and Submission Guidelines. This way, the program can evolve as we learn from experience during each series.
Next Steps for aspiring Fan Designers
Check out the BrickLink Designer Program homepage for the overview and detailed timeline.
Before you start building, Review the Submission Guidelines, which all submissions must follow.
Download the latest version of BrickLink Studio, which includes the BDP Series 1 Palette.
Register for our live webinar December 14th at 8am Pacific / 5pm CET to learn more about the Submission Guidelines. Can’t join live? We’ll make a video available after the session.
Ask any questions in the new BrickLink Designer Program forum, where we will monitor and respond.
We’re looking forward to your submissions!

hit 10k and didn't get approved for production) allowed to be submitted to
this program? (after being suitably modified to fit the requirements obviously)

Yes. From our FAQ:
If I submitted a project to LEGO IDEAS that reached 10,000 supporters and was
NOT approved, or if my project expired before reaching 10k, may I submit to BrickLink
Designer Program?
Yes. If your submission meets the BDP Series 1 Submission Guidelines, you may
submit a design already submitted to LEGO IDEAS, provided it has either reached
10k and was NOT approved, or it has Expired and is no longer active on LEGO IDEAS.

| It is great that there are always updates to the designer program but what about
Bricklink as a whole? This platform is over 20 years old now and very well
outdated. Paying over $500 a month to use this platform, you would think this
would be a consideration to update. Just my 2 extra cents

Other then the first “recent” wave the sets take a while to sell so you don’t
need to worry about that

There is a delay of a year between ordering and shipping.

| Hello,
I'm new here, so I will apologize for my very newbie question. I understand
how this Series 1 will work, except for the part where it says the parts will
be produced in the factory. This is a BrickLink factory? Does that mean these
pieces will not be Lego bricks?
Thank you

Yes.
And what’s said on the Program’s page is “We produce the sets in the factory”
(my emphasis).
I guess it’s because the very first program, the ADP /AFOL Designer Program,
in 2018, was made before BrickLink entered the LEGO Group. It also used LEGO
parts, but the sets were packed by BrickLink (by hand).
“The factory” is a bit weird though, as there’s multiple LEGO factories.
Anyway, LEGO BrickLink, LEGO parts, LEGO sets

| BrickLink is now owned by Lego, so I'm assuming there are perks (ex. factory
use) associated with this acquisition.

| There needs to be an easier way to vote (either up vote or down vote) EVERY
design for Series 2. You either need to be able to do a slideshow-type navigation
where you go from one design to the next without having to go back to the main
page, or you need to be able to vote for each design from the thumbnail page.
There were too many designs to click and down-vote all the ones I didn't
like and then go back to the list and click on the next one and vote and go back
to the list and so on and so forth. So I only clicked on the ones I liked enough
to up-vote them and didn't vote on any of the others.

| It would be great again if there would be another update that could delete everything
at once for the Costum Parts, so that you don't have to delete everything
individually every time. Or is there a way to delete it all at once?
